I'm still trying to understand how the Germans in that period were soo technologically advanced.

Bro, it was the 1930s and 40s.

The industrial revolution had happened in the mid-1700s.

Why should you be surprised?

Technology was already in an advanced stage and countries had even begun to "participate" in arms race. Who would ever have imagined that the hitherto neutral United States had the technology to devastate cities like Hiroshima and Nagasaki?

As far back as 1939 a particular country already made a bullet proof car but Nigeria in 2019 can't boast of something worthy or significant .hmmm

You must emigrate to that "your one particular country"! Aren't you a person too? Who's disallowing you from doing "something worthy or significant "?

I've always found people's reaction to issues such as this highly disturbing. I remember arguing with a friend back in school over a picture of Hirochima as at 1944, he insisted there was no way the skyscrappers in the pics were real.

What is the big deal about a bulletproof car as at 1941, Advanced aircrafts were already in use then, People already had steady power, nations already had space shuttles and finally, skyscrapppers were already old news, advanced naval destroyers already existed. Submarines nkọ, everywhere.

Isn't it surprising that Hitler's Holocaust was targeted mainly on Jews based on racial hatred but it turns out that the same Jews are very racist against blacks and IPOB and Biafran apologists ( who are blacks) look up to the Jews based on their mode of worship because of the star of David?

Before anyone comes to quote me and say rubbish...i am a full blooded Igbo man from Anambra State!

Mercedes have been making bulletproof cars since 1938 and one ignorant conductor on Autos section was comparing Lexus to Benz.

Having bullet proof in 1938 doesn't mean being the best car brand in 2019. In terms of reliability I think Lexus beats Mercedes Benz.

One of history’s most significant cars is the Mercedes-Benz 770K Grosser used by Adolf Hitler.

The Mercedes-Benz 770, also known as the Großer Mercedes (German for “large Mercedes”), was a large luxury car built by Mercedes-Benz from 1930 to 1943.

The 1939 Mercedes-Benz 770 Grosser Offener Tourenwagen used by Hitler was the most technologically advanced car of its time.

The four-seat, 7.7-liter convertible had armour-plating and 30mm thick bulletproof glass. It was used for the state visit of Benito Mussolini in 1940.




The car was used several times by the German dictator for rallies across Europe.

The 20-foot long limousine was last used on parade at the old Reichstag on May 4, 1941, where Hitler celebrated the defeat of Yugoslavia and Greece.


This Mercedes-Benz 770K ‘Grosser’ or ‘Grand’ still bears the original registration IA148461 and chassis number of 189744.

The 770K was partially armoured was seized by the US Army after the war. It was not used much and ended up in France when it was discovered by American forces who, unaware of its history, used it as a military pool car for several months.

It was put under the control and use of the U.S Army Military Police stationed in Le Havre, France and eventually made its way to the United States.

It was donated to a local branch of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, which used the car in parades.


The Grosser was then retired, parked and forgotten in garage storage until 1976.





Since then, it had had several American owners before being sold to a European collector in 2004.

Upon its rediscovery, it has appeared in several museums and displays since then including the Imperial Palace Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, the Chicago Historical Antique Automobile Museum and the Canadian War Museum in Ottowa.


The car is the last of the eight original W150 770K models made and one of only five surviving cars today.

Out of the five, only three, including this particular car, is in private hands with the other two with museums worldwide.

As of November 2009, one of Hitler’s 770Ks was allegedly purchased for several million euros by an unnamed Russian billionaire.

Mention a single significant thing that you have done. Just 1.

As far back as centuries ago, we had the Benin wall which is the largest structure built by man longer than the Great wall of China. We had Empires built by the Borno, Oyo, Bini, etc.

You should learn to read wide and not trash talk your own thing so that you'll look smart in front of outsiders.
grin grin ;Dwhere is Benin wall and oyo wall?oga the fact still remains that we as a country can't not produce eletric iron not talk of car

That Benin wall gist is trash!! and even if it did exist at some point, it certainly doesn't compare to what middle eastern and Asian civilisations had built within similar or earlier time periods.

Adolf Hitler was never a dictator he was strictly against the Jewish who were occupying the western Germany. And till the world ends, Germans will always prefer turkey alliance to Jewish alliance.
